The most powerful astrophysical events: Gravitational-wave peak luminosity of binary black holes as predicted by numerical relativity
David Keitel, Xisco Jiménez Forteza, Sascha Husa +9
For a brief moment, a binary black hole (BBH) merger can be the most powerful astrophysical event in the visible universe. Here we present a model fit for this gravitational-wave p…
Search for continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars in globular cluster NGC 6544
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +953
We describe a directed search for continuous gravitational waves in data from the sixth LIGO science run. The target was the nearby globular cluster NGC 6544 at a distance of 2.7 k…
Results of the deepest all-sky survey for continuous gravitational waves on LIGO S6 data running on the Einstein@Home volunteer distributed computing project
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
We report results of a deep all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars in data from the S6 LIGO science run. The search was possible thanks to the…
Georgia Tech Catalog of Gravitational Waveforms
Karan Jani, James Healy, James A. Clark +3
This paper introduces a catalog of gravitational waveforms from the bank of simulations by the numerical relativity effort at Georgia Tech. Currently, the catalog consists of 452 d…
Testing general relativity using golden black-hole binaries
Abhirup Ghosh, Archisman Ghosh, Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel +8
The coalescences of stellar-mass black-hole binaries through their inspiral, merger, and ringdown are among the most promising sources for ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) dete…
